You could sense the NBA's MVP discussion turning toxic a month ago, before it got worse. Within weeks, the betting odds shifted from Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić in favor of Philadelphia 76ers counterpart Joel Embiid based on their diverging performances, casting the conversation in an entirely different light.
116.4 offensive rating, 109.2 defensive rating 31-11-6 ; .500 team record Player A:25-13-10 ; 24-11 team record40-14-11 ; 20-9 team record Player A has been incredibly clutch. He is the most active rim protector and a stalwart defender in space. He is a dominant force on both ends of the floor, although pretty clearly second-best statistically overall.
Player B fills the box score best among this trio. He creates more of his own scoring and is the best all-around defender, and his team is tops when he is in the lineup. He also is the least efficient scorer, owns the worst advanced statistics, has played the fewest minutes and gets the most help from his teammates. His production dips against winning teams and in the clutch, where he has been the least helpful of this group.
Player C is an offensive maestro. He has created the most points and done so most efficiently. His advanced statistics are undeniably the best of this bunch. He has also played the most minutes, received the least help from his teammates and been on the floor for the most wins. His production and efficiency translate against winning teams and in the clutch.
Strictly by the numbers, it is hardest to argue against Player C, who, if you have not guessed, is Jokić. Everyone's eye test can tell a different story, as it did on Tuesday night and may well in the voting, too. Good luck to all with ballots. May you avoid any toxicity.
